Root [International] How can I tell the carrier for my M7?

Hello,

I am new to this whole rooting thing and I just unlocked my boot loader. Now I have to install a recovery.

My choices are

1) TWRP Recovery for HTC One M7 v2.7.1.0a (AT&T, T-Mobile, international)
2) TWRP Recovery for HTC One Sprint v2.7.1.0a
3) TWRP Recovery for HTC One Verizon v2.7.1.0a

A friend in Florida initially bought the M7 right from HTC and now I'm in Canada using it on Telus' network with a SIM card. Maybe that info will help?

Which one of the files above should I install?

Thank you!

The bootloader screen will tell you alot
top line - locked / unlocked
M7_UL = Developer edition / AT&T / T-mobile / Other GSM
M7_wls = Sprint
M7_wlv = Verizon
M7_U = GSM with No LTE

Further Down the OS - gives you clues
OS- x.xx.502.x = AT&T
OS- x.xx.651.x = Sprint
OS- x.xx.1540.x = Developer Edition
OS- x.xx.531.x = T-Mobile
OS- x.xx.401.x = International
